(Photo by Alex Wong\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>President Trump added Scott is an important force in GOP politics, commending his work in support of the military, law enforcement and veterans. The two Republicans have worked closely over the last four years, with Scott praising the work President Trump has done for the diverse country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump built the most inclusive economy ever,\u201d Scott stated. \u201cSeven million jobs created pre-COVID-19, and two thirds of them went to women, African Americans and Hispanics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, President Trump is walking back on his 2018 endorsement for Georgia Gov.

In an interview last week, the 45th President said Kemp did little for the GOP and that his election ultimately hurt Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe ended up winning the election and he certainly was not very effective for the Republican Party, to put it nicely. So I think that was an endorsement that hurt us, but sometimes that will happen,\u201d President Trump stated. \u201cYou can\u2019t pick 100 percent of the winners. Governor Kemp, what he did for the Republican Party and to the Republican Party and to the state of Georgia, which is a great state, was sad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on to argue Kemp\u2019s lack of action with regards to voter fraud, failed to give his constituents what they wanted.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump later added, when Kemp ran in 2018 he was \u201cjust about in last place,\u201d and that the endorsement \u201csaved\u201d his campaign.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fla-cracks-down-on-covid-measures-ahead-of-spring-break\/\">Fla.
